nice medium red color- still youthful, relaxing nose of plum and cassis, spicy oak still evident, clove and the very first signs of forest floor, on the palate attractive plum and dark spice coated fruit on the front leading into a very tight and tannic middle and end palate, this note was taken at the four hour mark and the wine had changed little from opening, 2012 was a spectacular vintage at Jadot and this is the second wine I have visited in recent years that demonstrates they are aging even more slowly than usual- but happily to very good ends, as tight as this was on the back end compared to the front- the balance remains pristine, it can be enjoyed right now with a substantial meal but I really think we are a decade away from seeing it at its best.

Lätt bärig smak, tanniner, bra syra. Saknar mogenhet, med tanke på lagringstiden.

Nothing wrong with it. Very much a Burgundy. More earthy and lean than most US Pinots. Fine but I’ll stick with CA and OR.
